The skills and knowledge offered from the apprenticeship combined with the practical application on the job has set me up for success.

The PR and communications apprenticeship has guided me through the beginning of my communications career. I’ve learnt so much about the industry, met new people and developed so many new skills which will stay with me forever. Although it was challenging at times I am so happy that my hard work has paid off and I am able to take the next steps in building a career in communications.

With the combination of working within an organisation whilst also studying toward a qualification, I have been exposed to the industry with hands-on experience that University couldn’t give me. Like with anything, you get out what you out in. And, if you are willing, the rewards, success and transformative life skills you will earn make it so worth it. I learn something new every day, constantly improving on current skills and developing new ones to aid my development in this field.

An apprenticeship has been my best decision to date where I have developed both personally and professionally. I have been given responsibilities that I would not have otherwise known I was capable of, as well as gained confidence in interacting with clients and colleagues. Couldn’t recommend enough!

I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunities I’ve been able to take on and the knowledge I’ve built from my role at Champion and through the apprenticeship scheme. The apprenticeship has challenged me, but also enabled me to grow into my role and become a key person on some amazing accounts and campaigns. I can’t wait to progress further in my career!

My apprenticeship with the PRCA was a challenging but rewarding experience. There is a lot of work that goes into the diploma, but this is because it teaches you so much. Although I don’t think I will pursue a career in Public Relations, I have taken away many skills that I can apply in my new role and the future. Thank you to everyone involved.
